Using birds as a model group, at #BOUasm25 I talk about how colour influences demand on a global scale.

(1/2) 🦇 A group of bats can be called a colony, a cauldron, a cloud or even a camp but with 1,500 bat species worldwide (and 18 right here in the UK!), we think it’s time to get a little more imaginative.
Surely our brilliant bat species deserve some names as unique as they are?
